Faridabad Arms Haul: Rifle Found in Woman Doctor’s Car
The Faridabad arms smuggling case has taken a dramatic turn with the discovery of a rifle in a woman doctor’s car, deepening the mystery around the 12-suitcase weapons seizure. The case, now under national scrutiny, involves 20 timers—raising fears of terror links—and a potential medical-professional connection.
Initial Seizure: 12 Suitcases of Weapons & 20 Timers
Acting on a tip-off, Faridabad Police intercepted a vehicle last week, uncovering 12 suitcases packed with pistols, revolvers, and ammunition. The haul included 20 electronic timers, typically used in explosive devices, prompting alarms about possible terror ties. Two suspects were arrested, but their interrogation revealed gaps in the supply chain, hinting at a larger syndicate.
Shocking Twist: Rifle Linked to Woman Doctor
In a new development, police recovered a rifle from the car of a 32-year-old woman doctor (name withheld). She claims ignorance, stating the car was occasionally used by her brother—now under scrutiny. Forensic tests are underway to determine if the rifle ties to the larger haul. No charges have been filed yet, but the doctor is being questioned.
Terror Angle Under Scrutiny
The NIA has been alerted due to the interstate nature of the case and the timers’ presence. Investigators are probing whether the weapons were destined for:
– Criminal gangs
– Insurgent groups
– Cross-border operatives
Faridabad’s history of arms smuggling adds urgency, but this scale is unprecedented.
Political and Public Outcry
Haryana’s Home Minister Anil Vij vowed a “thorough probe,” while opposition leaders criticized security lapses: “How did such a massive haul go undetected?” The Indian Medical Association (IMA) urged fairness, stressing the doctor’s innocence until proven guilty.
Next Steps: NIA Likely to Take Over
Key focuses include:
– Weapons’ origin: Suspected interstate smuggling.
– Doctor’s involvement: Coerced or complicit?
– Timers’ purpose: Explosives or other use?
Conclusion
From 12 suitcases to a doctor’s car, the Faridabad arms case reveals a complex network with national security implications. Updates to follow as the NIA steps in.
